t h e TRAPPED TOGETHER m e m e(expanded edition; originally from memebells @ lj)

Ever wanted to tag a character yours has no good reason to know? Ever wanted your character to be forced to interact with someone they're supposed to hate? Now's your chance!

You character has been trapped somewhere-- and they're not alone. Pick the scenario(s) and genre(s) you're open to, and post with your choices and character's information in the subject line. Use the random number generator or your own discretion to reply to others' posts.

SCENARIOS:

1. TRAPPED IN AN ELEVATOR The old standby. You're stuck until someone can rescue you, or until one or both of you can get this box moving again.

2. TRAPPED IN AN UNDERGROUND BUNKER Maybe there's a nuclear winter, or maybe you were just exploring and wandered in here. Either way? Right now, you're stuck.

3. TRAPPED IN A CAR You were driving long-distance when your ride broke down, so now you're stuck in the middle of nowhere until else someone happens by.

4. TRAPPED IN A MALL AFTER HOURS Somehow, you managed to get stuck in the mall after closing. Maybe you fell asleep in the bathroom, or were hiding in the back of the bookstore, but now the doors are locked, and you've got the whole place almost to yourself.

5. TRAPPED IN A MAZE Entering that maze seemed like such a good idea, didn't it? Only now you can't find your way out, and you're pretty sure you're not alone in here...

6. TRAPPED ON AN ISLAND You should have known better than to trust any three hour cruise or any last minute flight over the ocean. In the chaos you've gotten stuck on a different island from the rest of the survivors (there are others, right?), but you'll probably still be close enough for rescuers to find you if you build a big enough fire. At least you have the island to yourselves... don't you?

7. TRAPPED IN THE WILDERNESS It was a great idea to go trekking out into the wilderness until you got separated from the group you were on, or you lost your map in a mad escape from something... unfortunate. If you're lucky there's a cabin to stay in. If you're less lucky, one of you brought a tent. If not... then you better get trekking home in a hurry. There're animals out there, you know.

8. OTHER/COMBO Any other scenarios that tickle your fancy.

GENRES:

i. Survival Horror
ii. Smut
iii. Gen

[ April turned her head slowly, a slight smile on her face as she glanced down at the girl ]

Didn't plan to get lost, did you?

[ She glanced up at her with a small smile forming on her face. ]

Yes... it seems I wasn't paying attention.

[ she watched her a moment longer before she started walking, hands crossed behind her head ]

Ah well. Guess we'll just be lost together then. [ she paused and then looked behind her ] Unless you'd rather try getting out the other way?

They always say that getting lost in company is better than being alone.

[ She bowed her head gently and moved to follow the other woman. ]

A wise man then. I much prefer company myself when I can get it. It's no fun drinking alone.

[ she turned a corner at random, not concerned with where they were heading. These things usually worked out for them in the end. ]

I cannot say I am much of a drinker, but a kind companion is always welcome.

[ ah, that's a shame. She'd been hoping. ]

Hmm... Then I suppose I should ask your name since we're heading the same direction for a bit. You can call me April.

April? That's a beautiful name, though it is not one I am used to. My name is Mitsuba. It is a pleasure to meet such a beautiful young woman.

[ she could hardly be young, but oh well. She certainly wasn't old either. ]

You don't get out much then, do you? [ there's no sting to her words, just idle conversation as she turns down yet one more path and then another. ] It's common enough overseas.

No, I'm afraid not. I am not really... well enough to go long distances.

[ She chuckles softly. ]

I see... that must be why it sounds so strange to me.
